The type of wood used in the construction of patio wood furniture has a profound effect on the longevity and durability of the furniture. High quality patio furniture is typically made from hard, resistant woods such as cedar, bald cypress, cherry, oak, or walnut. Furniture made from these woods typically requires very little care. Some manufacturers use a less expensive, less resistant wood such as pine, larch, or douglas-fir. While these softer woods can still produce furniture of reasonable quality, they need to be sealed on occasion to protect the wood from moisture damage and warping.
